Honey. Real, Honest-To-Bumble Honey


Have you ever tasted honey?


I mean, real honey. Not that flavored corn syrup found in a squeezebear.


I mean REAL honey, from beekepers who love their flocks, who isolate feeding grounds and sit outside rain or shine at the farmer’s market and hope someone stops by to find out why their honey is so much more expensive than the stuff you can get at the grocery store.


Have you ever tasted THAT honey?


Let me tell you, it’s … it’s a thing, that’s what it is. An experience. A wonderment.


I feel like a wine enthusiast, waxing poetic to my friends about how the pumpkin honey has a mellow heaviness to it, a sweet warmth that rounds out the base honey flavor and tastes like smiles and warm fall days when the leaves are changing colors.


Or twirling as I talk up the goldenrod honey, sweet and light and bright and happy.


And what about the loosestrife honey? Not pure, as bees have their own opinions on how a honey should taste, and some of the naughty buzzers added some goldenrod into this batch. The loosestrife is a dark, sharp undertone to the honey, and the goldenrod tames it perfectly, resulting in a honey that tastes like dappled shadows beneath star-shaped sweetgum leaves.


Even the archer farms honey in the picture above has its own flavor profile, rich and creamy and unapologetically dark.


Mix a tablespoon of any of these honeys with a cup of greek yogurt and you’ll never want another overly-flavored yogurt pod again. Simple, plain, and pure heaven.
